Presumably you could unsubscribe. Which is not the case with instagram. If you followed the White House account, or you decide to follow the archived account for Trump, you are periodically made to follow the current White House account for Biden. Even if you block the user, it will unblock and re-follow you.
Imo, society needs more of this, and these ideas are not in any way new to philosophy. We live in an age of widespread hedonism and much of the way people live is unhealthy on an individual and societal basis. I fully reject the "be yourself, do what makes you happy" mindset of today because the ideal day for a young person now is sleeping in, eating sugar for breakfast, smoking weed, playing video games and watching porn all day. Most people don't take it to that extreme, but too many people, in my opinion, go in that direction instead of the direction of moral productive work and rearing children that actually advances the human race and improves their life outside of momentary feelings of pleasure.
Yes. You can now see the true extent of their tricks and possible ways of shaking the WSB traders. Obviously these large guys are using their influence and connections to drive FUD, lies and fake news to frame their enemy / target (/r/WSB) to give in and sell. Even the stock brokers are in on it. All of this to protect the losses of the irresponsible and the greediest of hedge-funds and short-sellers.

Best part? They are not even hiding it. Everyone can see the message.

> Github really needs to allow people to disable the "Pull Request" tab on repos, to reduce the stigma around not accepting pull requests.

I'm not the one to defend GitHub, but what's the big deal about not accepting pull requests? If you clearly state that you won't accept PRs and somebody still sends them, then you can close them right away and problem solved. Am I missing anything?

Another issue is that the github pull request model is not very "gitonic". There are much saner systems like sourcehut.

I appreciate your experience. I think it depends on a lot on the company, where you work, your level of experience, etc.

When I've done work for smaller companies, I've often negotiated the terms with little to no issue (literally striking lines/paragraphs from the agreement as long as it was reasonable). But if you work for a FAANG, negotiating the legal terms is probably not going to happen unless you are a high level employee with a custom contract since they have a standardized hiring process for thousands of employees.

It also depends on your role and level of experience. The more senior you are or the more key the hire, the more you can probably negotiate. If you are a fresh hire from college, then you probably won't have any leverage at all.

Finally, I think your experience will vary a lot by how tight the market is for hiring someone in your position in that area. I've seen key technical hires in Silicon Valley negotiate all kinds of things if the company really wants to hire them. I've also seen people in roles like Project Managers and Designers be completely shut out of negotiating when the local market wasn't as competitive. Finally, I've seen people in less tech-dense cities with less market competition have no negotiating power even if they were senior hires.
Good guide to keep around for the next time you need to argue for the sanctity of massively racist ML algorithms lol.
It's not that those stocks hold specific value, it's that the denial of trade demonstrates to people a lack of personal power and freedom with regards to their own finances and where they may be directed.

it signifies a small loss of financial liberty and flexibility on behalf of the citizenry, which is enough to spark upset.

meanwhile large groups are allowed to systematically abuse in-place systems in a semi-visible public fashion without backlash or repercussion from regulators in most cases, exacerbating the perceived difference between 'Us and Them', fueling outrage and divide even further.

It's easy to consider why this might upset people.
I am more and more certain, with the political ideas like these, I will welcome our AI overloads.
If I were running a financial brokerage I'd totally do this, too. It's not a matter of "helping my hedge fund broker friends", it's a matter of "how do we keep the SEC off our backs". Remember: Robinhood is already being charged with securities law violation for giving their customers a raw deal on order execution.

We usually don't see distributed market manipulation like this, but I wouldn't be surprised if a shitton of people buying GameStop to squeeze a short-seller breaks securities law. Does it feel good to get one up on a hedge fund idiot that was trying to manipulate GameStop the other way? Yes - but this is, at best, financial vigilantism.

When markets move rapidly, and in GME’s case we are T-1 from opex, brokerages cannot manage risks effectively. They could actually be exposed quite a bit. With something like GME (probably an 8 sigma event) it could actually put Robinhood out of business.
The certificate market is a lot better than the domain market, because it's not a monopoly. I think it makes sense to have a trusted-signature system as a backfill and bootstrap for your web of trust.

Agree that nobody cares about this though. I'm certainly not surprised that we settle for easy mediocrity.

It's not a question of legality, it's one of incentives.

Similar to Google or Facebook, if I get the service for free, the service-providers' incentives may be aligned against me in favour of their paying customers.
The vocabulary already exists. For example, the lua project clearly states lua is free software but it is not open development, all development happens behind closed doors.
Yes. The Anki Leaderboard add-on.
The WSB sub is almost certainly going to get banned by Reddit.

Given the track record Reddit has of keeling over to public pressure, there is no way they are going to stand up to the SEC.
I've always shared my numbers openly (http://www.candyjapan.com/behind-the-scenes). It makes a lot of sense for getting feedback and some initial customers as well, especially if you're just building something alone.
It's also ironic that one of the supposed ethos of Bitcoin is to circumvent these powers that be - meanwhile every time there's an upward surge in pricing Coinbase conveniently isn't accessible which temporarily blocks impulse sellers and stops a rush of the "army of HODLers" from selling. If this behaviour isn't illegal it certainly should be, it's manipulation.
It's true that today's population is complacent. Many should take another look at how flimsy the reasons were why Americans fought a war of independence.
I ended up buying a couple stocks late in the game, fully expecting to lose the money. First, it's not my retirement or long-term cash, more of a hobby. And that hobby quickly turned into sending a message after watching those rich SOBs literally cry about being hurt by the free market, and then try and end/manipulate it to their advantage.
I'm not 100% sure about that. I used to drive a lot in western NY (mostly burned out industrial city/towns from WW2). Every decent size town that I've been to has multiple dealership right in the middle of the city. And yes, some right next to the highway because highways usually cut right thru the town/city.
I like GitLab but it has to be the only product I've used that gives you a different form of navigation almost every time you visit the site.

Will it be at the top? Down the side? Tab based? Drop downs? Who knows!?

Meanwhile, Github's UI is so stable (outside of the super infrequent redesigns) you basically develop a muscle memory for it.
Disgusting. The entire system is so fucking corrupt. The only fix in my mind is total collapse.

The way to make money in a bubble like this is to sell right before the pop.

At some point the word will go out that it’s over—“we won”—and everyone will rush to sell their GME and take profits.

It’s not possible for all those people to succeed. Broker apps like Robinhood will be absolutely overwhelmed with sell orders, many of which will run into technical problems and/or no counter parties. A lot of people are going to be pissed off and blame the brokers.

People buying in late will have the most to lose and maybe the least understanding of what is going on. I mean, this story was a “breaking news” red banner on WashingtonPost.com yesterday. Not everyone buying GME today understands the social movement /r/wsb angle.

Ultimately brokers are worried about getting sued by people or companies who lose a lot of money in ways that will look preventable in hindsight.

Edit to add: the 2008 financial crisis was caused by financial firms selling a lot of crazy mortgages to people who could not afford them unless housing prices went up forever. When the crisis hit, the firms got the blame, not their customers. Companies learned that helping their customers shoot themselves in the foot can come back to bite them, even if it was all legal and what customers wanted at the time.
In my experience, in the US it's free but it is often a pretty cumbersome and manual process that takes at least days, if not weeks. It's certainly not a click a few buttons on a website sort of thing. The last time I did this I had to physically mail a form and have a couple of different phone conversations.
The government letting 400,000+ people die didn’t piss people off.
For a while YouTube didn’t report the exact number of views, likes and dislikes. So someone viewing a video would only getting an approximate value for each or with a deliberate small +/- offset. Is it possible that’s what’s going on here?

I find it hard to believe YT is engaging in “manipulation” of a stat that frankly doesn’t really matter if you’re an account like the White House.
The issue is the definition of "good".

Trump and his supporters probably believed what he did was for the good, and many of us quite strongly disagrees.
This seems to be a matter of incentives.
I would guess most count oppression and exploitation cumulatively not by maximum event size.

I cant reply to your other post, so: you need to run the other kitty instance also with -1. If you do that, you will get the same numbers I got.
One way I have seen this done in the past is that you have contest sites. As a user you gain x number of entries for every action you take. One of these actions can be to go in and like or dislike a video for example. Sometimes the sites can even check that the action was performed.

Someone wanting more entries might create lots of fake accounts.

I'm sure there are many other ways to do this but that is one example on how spam dislikes can be generated.
From the banner for "Data Analysis with Rust Notebooks" this looks someone realised that both data stuff and Rust are popular on their own and decided to put them together to sell an e-book. It's cool that this is at all possible but ultimately it forces Rust into a use case that it isn't well suited for. I can't see a good reason to pick it over Python/R/Julia.

I believe Reddit calls similar activity "brigading," and it's against the rules there.
This story is over a year old (from October 2019). Why is it being posted here as news?
Yup. I eventually finished with 500,000 points, at level 131, with a Necromancer.

I think the biggest thing is discoverability, both of the ship types and of the fact that you have resource points to put into the ship at the start. I embarrassingly didn't find that until probably my 20th death, and, on the turn I found it I cruised to the top of the leaderboard and never want back, leading me to think that no one else was finding it either.
This is missing the context that Robinhood is required to seek the "best" execution of trades [1]. So Citadel is making a profit yes, but the customer is not necessarily harmed in that profit as Citadel may still be delivering a better execution than other market makers or the actual exchange itself.

[1] https://www.sec.gov/fast-answers/answersbestexhtm.html

Robinhood publishes their execution numbers (as required by the SEC), along with other brokers. At a quick glance, there is nothing out of the ordinary. It's also worth noting that you cannot directly compare numbers as different platforms have different trading behavior.

You can't even look at the stock on RH, it's like it doesn't exist. Same with Nokia, AMC, etc.

And all this with no explanation whatsoever. It would be one thing if they put out a press release or something to explain themselves but the fact that they did it on the sly stinks to high heaven.
It was clearly taken over by folks intending to have it shut down because it did not look like that prior to this GME bet gaining media attention. There is a lot of extremely questionable things happening around this event leading me to think that some very wealthy people are trying to prevent their shorts getting blown up at all costs. Even on HN I’ve been seeing weird posts on these threads.
Well, Zcoin, Monero and Dash being delisted from exchanges has got to mean that they are at least somewhat effective...?
That's an interesting idea! It depends a bit on the data that is shown on the dashboard, but I guess in many cases the data is quite static. The data on my dashboard can change at any time in theory, but there are many times where the data remains the same for 2-3 hours.
That last sentence is extremely scary. Do you have a source?
> Am I missing anything?

Yes. The "reduce the stigma" part. Having users open a PR to just get it automatically closed by a bot (which also needs to be set up) it's far less welcoming than NOT having at all a "Pull requests" tab where you can open said PR.
I can't help but think this is self-inflicted. If we really are to apply the spirit of open-source, wouldn't the community-pro action here be to open the project up to additional maintainers to pick up the slack and delegate out the work? Isn't that how popular projects grow? And when they do get really big, isn't that the time they should be transitioned to an organization like Apache or Canonical to manage the day-to-day management efforts of a large project?

I think the idea that a founder of a project is responsible to maintain it into infinity and beyond is missing the whole point of open-sourcing code. That founder is putting unfounded pressure on themselves rather than letting the project grow and evolve in an organic way. Much like a helicopter-parent that micro-manages their children's lives, rather than letting them make mistakes, learn, and mature into independent adults.

Obviously, there are a number of open-source project methods for handling this, forking being a common one that the community itself can apply. But I would think it would be beneficial to the project community to have an honest discussion about it an entertain offers to take the project over rather than breaking the community spirit of contribution that is core to the ideals of open-source programming. If there comes a time when no one is willing to step up, the community and more importantly repository providers, should offer a way to put a project into maintenance mode, and allow someone to come along and take over maintenance of code that has the time and willingness to do so.

This comment is not an effort to criticize the founders of the mentioned projects, but an open-ended question to the community at-large to ponder and reflect upon how we manage and grow the spirit of open-source, while taking care of the maintainers/contributors that help keep it going.

Back in 1999 when Red Hat went IPO (dsiclaimer: I had FoC options), eTrade denied a very large swath of first-time investors with their platform trying to take advantage of Red Hat's FoC share options; I was one of them.

There was a followup round of reach-out "hey, you might want to take this quiz again and maybe we'll let you play" (meaning go answer the questions and lie that you're an experienced investor) to try and get the disenfranchised back into the game.
The author is doing research on one point of a system and is ignoring the whole rest of the system ie. youtube. It's pseudo science at it's best and and should be banned from hn.
What you say is sadly 100% correct.

I think it's economical incentives and supply/demand games above all else these days though, not so much about technical prowess (which is IMO aplenty in most teams I ever have been in). I have met some extremely intelligent lawyers and business managers and a good chunk of them are VERY KEENLY aware that most programmers are of low quality and are unwilling to change their (barely learned and never revised) ways. They know, trust me.

But they sleep better knowing there is a bigger supply pool out there because they mostly care how do they manipulate the tech worker into their agendas and objectives -- and thus [want to] view IT workers as replaceable cogs, even if we all know (them included) that this is factually untrue.

That's a huge cultural problem. Not because I feel threatened by some 20 y/o smart guy who feels like a God after two JS hackathons, no; it's mostly because the shot-callers play on people's egos. Meritocracy is still mostly a theoretical construct.

RE: "we need to want it bad enough", I do want it very badly both ways: (a) have intelligent AGI-level of tooling and (b) people not shoving their current hype-train ideas into a 5-year old project -- but I personally am not willing the put the work in both because both are not my job. And even if they are made my job, I am 99% sure I will not be paid enough to (1) deliver direct business value with my tech expertise, (2) mentor youngsters and (3) work on automating myself out of the job, all in parallel.

So while I do agree with you on all accounts, I think the incentives outside of our tech bubble are wildly misaligned with our interests and objectives.

We got a variant of those credit card sized NFC cards to check in to public transit, the issuer decided that they should have an expiry date. From what I remember reading in local tech news, the logic was that people bend/break them over time, making them have a measurable lifespan.

My card actually expired in the middle of the countryside, and phone support just told me to get a replacement in the nearest convenience store.

I could have been prepared for this if I had checked the expiry date and put it in my calendar, but how many people do this?
